I had a hysterectomy's 30 years ago and was on hormones till the Dr felt it was time to stop them That was when I began to experience severe vaginal dryness they prescribed an estrogen cream which I had a severs reaction to then I found a naturopathic Dr who prescribed the compounded cream it was worked so well without it I would again have severe pain dryness and be unable to experience intercorse with how great discomfort
